Table Image: Your Poker Reputation in Real Time
🎙️ Episode 118 – Table Image: Your Poker Reputation in Real Time
In poker, it’s not just about the cards you play—it’s about the story you tell. Your table image is your poker reputation in the moment: are you the tight rock, the fearless maniac, or the Costco-hoodie dad who somehow scoops every pot?
In this episode of The Overlay, Ken and Brandon break down how to build, control, and exploit your table image for maximum profit. We cover:
- 🎭 The psychology of perception at the table
- 🃏 How to lean into your image—or flip it for a big bluff
- 👓 The role of sunglasses, hoodies, chip stacks, and nachos (yes, nachos)
- 🔑 Actionable tips to weaponize your reputation
Packed with strategy, stories, and plenty of laughs, this episode will help you turn the way others see you into your greatest edge.
Because in poker—and in life—it’s not just who you are, it’s who they think you are.
